    Diablo IV is the exact same trash game as Diablo III, just with more monetization.

    The Diablo franchise died with Blizzard North.

    It feels like they took the code from Diablo 3 and just modified a few things here and there.
    So far im not impressed by the game and i actually find it pretty boring to play it.

    Poor game without any innovation. Me, as a fun of Diablo series and RPG/D&D/Hack&Slash genres, as game developer and games designer, I'm totally disappointed.

    I've seen much deeper MODs of Diablo 2, this game is just a shame for Blizzard and Activision, hope they won't last for long and let their talents will join other teams that may be able to use them for good.

    World bosses that forces a once solo player awesome experience to play with other players more like a MMO.

    The amount of time from the announcement to the release, there wasn't just enough time to create the d4 we wanted, if you believe in fairy tails that they were on it for almost 10 years, believe in whatever you want, they saw an opportunity to create a cashcow since fans were asking for a sequel and they probably just used diablo immortal assets and create something new here and there.

    Like many of us, i was a foul for believing in D4 when we already have the REAL worthy successor do D1 and D2 and i hope you go back to play it instead of wasting your free time.    … Expand

    Diablo IV, the much-anticipated entry in the renowned franchise, falls disappointingly short of its predecessors and fails to carve its own path. As an ardent fan of the series, it pains me to say that Diablo IV feels like a shadowy imitation of other successful action RPGs, lacking the depth, gameplay, and substance that makes games like Diablo II and Path of Exile so beloved. While theDiablo IV, the much-anticipated entry in the renowned franchise, falls disappointingly short of its predecessors and fails to carve its own path. As an ardent fan of the series, it pains me to say that Diablo IV feels like a shadowy imitation of other successful action RPGs, lacking the depth, gameplay, and substance that makes games like Diablo II and Path of Exile so beloved. While the graphics and cinematics stand out as commendable, the overall experience leaves much to be desired.

    First and foremost, Diablo IV shamelessly borrows systems from games like Path of Exile and Lost Ark, but disappointingly waters them down. Rather than innovating and introducing captivating new mechanics, Blizzard seems content with imitating without adding any meaningful improvements. This lack of originality and the diluted nature of these borrowed systems fail to evoke the same excitement and engagement as their inspirations.

    One of the most glaring issues with Diablo IV is its noticeable lack of gameplay and substance. The game feels like a hollow shell, offering little depth or complexity in comparison to a certain predecessor. Diablo II and Path of Exile set the bar high with their intricate skill systems, diverse character builds, and engaging endgame content. In contrast, Diablo IV feels shallow and fails to provide the same level of depth and long-lasting appeal.

    Lazy development practices are also at the fore-front of Diablo IV. One example of this is the level scaling. Whenever your character levels up, all the monsters around you level up too. This can actually result in your character getting weaker whenever you level up.

    Repetition quickly becomes a prevalent issue in Diablo IV. The lack of varied and engaging content leads to a monotonous gameplay loop that loses its charm all too quickly. Quests and encounters become predictable, and the lack of meaningful progression or impactful choices dampens the sense of excitement and exploration that should be inherent in any good action RPG.

    While Diablo IV's graphics and cinematics deserve some praise for their visual fidelity and production value, they become the sole redeeming features in an otherwise lackluster experience. The haunting atmosphere and impressive visual effects do little to make up for the game's shortcomings in terms of gameplay depth and overall substance.

    Blizzard's sales and marketing practices surrounding Diablo IV are questionable at best. The exorbitant pricing for the game is difficult to justify, especially when compared to other outstanding titles like Path of Exile, which offers a superior experience at no cost. The base edition's price tag of $70 and the ultimate edition's $100 price point appear predatory, preying on the loyalty of dedicated fans while failing to deliver a truly exceptional experience. For the same price as the $70 base edition of Diablo IV, you could buy Last Epoch, Grimdawn (plus both expansions), and Torch Light 1, 2 and 3. Not to mention games like Path of Exile and Lost Ark which come at no cost.

    Diablo IV feels like the older sibling of Diablo Immortal with a heavy price tag, lacking the ambition, innovation, and passion that fans have come to expect from the franchise. It fails to carve its own identity, leaving players yearning for a fresh and transformative experience that matches the legacy of the earlier Diablo titles.

    In conclusion, Diablo IV disappoints on multiple fronts. It imitates successful systems without improving upon them, lacks the gameplay and substance of its predecessors, succumbs to repetition, and relies heavily on its visuals to compensate for its deficiencies. Blizzard's development, sales and marketing practices and the steep price tag only amplify the sense of disappointment. As an avid fan, I can't help but feel that Diablo IV falls short of capturing the essence that made the franchise so beloved, leaving me longing for a more remarkable and memorable experience.    … Expand

    Introduction:
    Diablo 4, the highly anticipated addition to the iconic action RPG franchise, unfortunately fails to capture the magic of its predecessors. While it boasts impressive graphics and cinematics, the game falls short in several key areas. Drawing upon my expertise of being a Diablo enthusiast, I will delve into the details of Diablo 4's shortcomings and highlight how it diverges from the series' rich legacy.

    Graphics and Visual Design:
    Visually, Diablo 4 is appealing, going back to the the dark and gritty aesthetic of its predecessors, but it carries a noticeable World of Warcraft influence. Some spell animations lack the impact seen in Diablo 2 Resurrected, with cartoony spells reminiscent of Diablo 3. Moreover, the generic item graphics detract from the unique item identification experience found in previous titles, and the lack of variety in monster designs is disappointing.

    Gameplay Mechanics:
    Diablo 4's gameplay mechanics present significant issues that hinder its potential. Characters are restricted to specific equipment choices, limiting build diversity and preventing unique playstyles like a melee sorceress wielding a sword and shield. This restriction feels outdated, considering the flexibility offered by games released over two decades ago. Furthermore, the absence of a basic attack and the reliance on skills tied to weapon damage undermine the RPG systems and result in poorly designed mathematical frameworks. This departure from Diablo 2's distinct magic and physical attack mechanics diminishes the game's depth and engagement.

    Skill Variety and Gameplay Diversity:
    The game's limitation of six active skills at a time, compared to Diablo 2's allowance of up to 16 active skills, curtails the potential for diverse and dynamic gameplay. Diablo 4's gameplay revolves around waiting for cooldowns and utilizing a generator attack during downtime, lacking the constant spellcasting and action-packed gameplay of its predecessor.

    Replay Value and World Design:
    Diablo 4's replay value is limited, with an endgame that lacks depth and character progression that quickly stagnates. The absence of procedural generation, a hallmark of the series, and the reliance on recycled assets contribute to a forgettable game world. The static open world with scattered MMO events fails to evoke the immersive and dynamic experience players expect from the franchise.

    Itemization and Power Scaling:
    Diablo 4's itemization is disappointing, with convoluted stats that hold little meaning beyond superficial fluff. The game's focus on items dictating builds rather than enhancing chosen builds detracts from the depth and complexity found in ARPGs. Additionally, the flawed math system tied excessively to weapon damage, similar to Diablo 3, creates scaling issues and fails to demonstrate improvements from past iterations.

    Conclusion:
    Diablo 4, despite its flashy graphics, ultimately falls short of its predecessors' legacy. It fails to deliver the depth, complexity, and engaging mechanics that Diablo 2 excelled at. The restrictive gameplay choices, lackluster itemization, and absence of procedural generation contribute to a hollow experience. While the game may still appeal to those new to the series or seeking an action-focused experience, fans of Diablo 2 and its rich sandbox mechanics will likely find Diablo 4 disappointing. As an avid Diablo expert, I rate Diablo 4 as a mere shadow of its former glory.    … Expand

    The gear itemization and skill tree systems are weak and do not confer enough power to the player.

    The world scaling is off, with enemies seeming to scale at the same rate as the player, making it difficult to feel a sense of progress.

    It's generally very boring right now, I wish i could refund it but i cannot.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game deserves a zero. Diablo fans disappointment once again for the third time in 10 years.

    Now blizzard only makes game to sell microtransactions to little kids by getting them addicted. The game is simpler and simpler going from d2, to d3, to D4. Offline Zelda will give more replayability and excitement than this. In 25 years of diablos since d2, this series has regressed in every way.

    -No trading
    -Cannot replay campaign bosses.. wow.. -Zero innovation, d2 classes copy pasted

    This game doesn't have a beginning, middle or endgame. You beat the campaign once in 7 hts and go straight into grinding with no change afterwards.

    Lilith is a mind numbingly boring villain too Zero out of 10, for no innovation, but -1 for regressing again.    … Expand

    The game is good, but there is still that bad connection with the blizzard servers (as usual) and this is sad because this company is very mercenary and has horrible servers as well as the team that tries to somehow fix it, but it ends up getting worse ...

    Overall, the game falls short in several areas, making it a disappointing experience.

    The concept of level scaling is flawed, as players consistently feel weaker after leveling up unless they acquire new weapons. This undermines the sense of progression and leaves players questioning the purpose of leveling. Furthermore, the lack of mob density in the early stages of the game dampens the excitement and exploration.

    Itemization is another letdown, as the focus seems to be solely on acquiring higher numerical values rather than hunting for unique and interesting items. With the existence of a global loot table, the open world becomes irrelevant, reducing the sense of exploration and variety. Additionally, as players progress through the world tiers, lower-tier items become obsolete, making their continued drop rate puzzling and frustrating.

    Furthermore, the game's item progression system suffers from a lack of balance and pacing. Once players reach a higher world tier, they are suddenly flooded with higher rarity items within a matter of an hour or two. This rapid influx of powerful gear provides a quick dopamine rush, but it also diminishes the sense of meaningful item progression. The problem becomes more apparent when players remain within the same world tier for an extended period. During this time, the advancement in item quality and effectiveness becomes almost negligible. It creates a stagnant experience where the excitement of finding better gear is greatly diminished.

    The skill system also suffers from imbalance and lack of coherence. While percentage damage from equipped weapons may work for certain classes like barbarians, it feels out of place for others like sorcerers. This discrepancy in skill mechanics undermines the overall cohesion and strategic depth of the gameplay.

    The user interface is another weak point, with inconsistent quality. The skill tree is unreadable, impeding players from making informed decisions about character progression. Furthermore, the item description tables suffer from poor design choices, making it difficult to gather crucial information about items. The overall design and visibility issues significantly detract from the user experience.

    The Paragon Board, intended to provide additional customization options, ends up feeling repetitive and lacking in diversity. The emphasis on percentage damage, resource bonuses, and generic damage increases results in different classes feeling remarkably similar, reducing the incentive to experiment with different playstyles.

    In terms of monetization, the game's release strategy raises concerns. Claiming a premiere date of 6.6 and offering a $20 Early Access option merely four days earlier feels disingenuous. Furthermore, the offer of Early Access for a short duration of only four days diminishes the value of the additional payment. It appears as if the intention was to capitalize on the fact that June 2nd fell on a Friday and June 6th on a Tuesday, maximizing profits rather than providing a genuine Early Access experience.

    Overall, these practices cast a shadow on the game's integrity and consumer trust. Players who paid $70 instead of $90 were not given a true premiere experience but rather what could be considered a "Later Access" to the full version 1.0 of the game on June 2nd. This approach undermines the expectations and fairness associated with Early Access models, where players typically support a game's development in its earlier stages. As a result, the game's monetization strategy leaves players feeling exploited and dissatisfied.

    In summary, the game suffers from a lack of complexity, opting for complicated mechanics that fail to deliver engaging gameplay. Issues with level scaling, mob density, itemization, skill mechanics, UI design, monetization choices, and item progression all contribute to a disappointing experience. Rather than providing a captivating Hack n' Slash adventure, the game relies on forced travel to prolong gameplay, further detracting from the overall enjoyment. As a result, the game falls short of its potential, leaving players longing for a more satisfying and well-rounded experience.    … Expand

    --Grinding through dungeons
    --Running from town to side quests is another time sink
    --Dying from random one-shots, just to have to restart whole boss fights
    --Even after you get the horse, you have a limited amount of "sprints" you can use, per a cool down, and half the time these sprints don't actually speed your horse up because of whack geometry.
    --Cannot sprint with the horse in town.
    --Cannot use skills in town, even if those skills are nothing more than regenerating resource for a character.
    --Mounts are not available until you're almost done with the game.
    --You must complete a laundry list of activities before jumping world tiers, which means you're stuck on the grind just to get to the grind of better gear.
    --It takes such an ungodly amount of time to level up to 100 that you aren't likely to stick with it until you can enjoy the build potential that is present.
    --It's not enough to acquire an Aspect one time, you can only apply an extracted Aspect once before it's worthless to you. This means you will CONSTANTLY have to farm for the exact same aspect every single time you want to try out a new piece of gear. These Aspects can only drop on certain Legendary items and the Legendary items that can drop them are already exceedingly rare, with no ability to deterministically acquire the stuff you want for any particular build it means getting to the end-game is a total slog AND optimizing your build once you get there is 10x worse.
    --Respeccing is ludicrously expensive, as each Paragon point has to be removed 1 by 1 (read: there are 220 of them) and you cannot respec single ability points at once, you in fact have to spend gob-smacking amounts of gold to respec your main character abilities.
    --No ability to teleport to Nightmare dungeons, you will end up running to those as well.
    --Mobs / bosses have far too much health.

    Servers are unplayable every couple of days.
    --Lag is atrocious even on days when the game is playable.
    --Transitioning map zones will stop you in place and / or outright crash your game
    --Rubber banding, even when playing solo instances separated from the over world

    Level scaling obliterates the fun in this game.
    --Everything gets harder when you level up, not easier.
    --Gear you invested in at a lower level is IMMEDIATELY trash compared to the next drop.
    --Nothing is good for you until you reach the end-game and there's no ability to power yourself up if you're under-leveled before engaging in new activities.
    --There's no gear protection to ensure you get build-appropriate gear as you level up, which only exacerbates how randomized your power curves will be. You could spend 10s of levels with off-spec gear, just because you didn't get the drops you needed and it's too expensive to go out farming for the drops that match your build.

    Anti-social in practice
    --There's no suite of products to enable socializing in this game, like a dungeon finder or LFG, and so you have to turn to 3rd party forum boards to enable finding people appropriate to your activity.
    --Joining a party scales the world to that party leader, which means joining your friends prior to the completion of the campaign is a non-option. You're not able to join a party with someone and jump to their instance of their world to complete their quest before jumping back to yours to complete a side quest you're on or some other thing appropriate to your world. You would have to restructure the party and have them go through your world to complete content you're working on independently of the content they're working on. It's not at all seamless for anything other than end-game activities.
    --I should have the ability to see people inside a dungeon who have toggled it to be public so I can just hop into the dungeon as I pass by it in the over world map, but I cannot do this. I do not have the ability to run a dungeon and make that dungeon public to invite other people into it who are running past it in their version of their over world, I would have to set it all up before hand through a party, which is entirely contrived and anti-social when we have an MMO-styled over world.

    Extremely overpriced
    --Playing through the game to level 50 will take you a couple of days. Grinding from 50-100 will take you in the order of magnitude of 100's of hours. Grinding from level 100 to the specific gear required to complete your builds will take you another order of magnitude of 100's of hours. Once you have your builds completed, there will be nothing for you to use it on. The game is an unpurposed, infinite stair case that needed to be so overpriced up front, because Blizzard knows no one would pay a meaningful amount of money to continue playing it past the hype.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Diablo IV - walking simulator on rails.

    Starts off with pay to win 30€ early access and a non-ssf HC "race" dominated by group play spam-resetting the same dungeon over and over.

    Boring itemization and barebones skill-twig ("tree") with minimal effective choice.
    The monster killing portion of the gameplay is good, everything else is not.

    Every town is deliberately horribly ineffective in terms of crafting / storing stuff, requiring one to walk back and forth for a minute or two depending on the use case, of course the horse isn't allowed to gallop inside and near towns.

    The endgame is weaker than path of exile was literally 10 years ago. Nightmare Dungeons require a 1-2 minute walk every time, incentivizing preparing a set of identical dungeons, so that you don't have to walk there every time. Each "unique" dungeon has always the same boring objectives and boss (if there even is one) and requires backtracking, sometimes requiring players to backtrack for multiple minutes per dungeon. To top it off, there's only 22 dungeons that can be nightmare dungeons, despite there being 100+ in the game.

    The level-scaling is absolutely mind-boggling. Zones that are lower level than you will downscale your character, meaning you technically get weaker per level in low-level zones, similarly, monsters that are higher level than you gain damage reduction and deal more damage to you.

    The "trade system" is ridiculous. Any item that's legendary or unique cannot be traded. Any item that's been upgraded by the black smith cannot be traded. In other words, any item that you use becomes account bound and can at best be reused by another of your characters. This also means that most* account bound item upgrades make the prior item absolutely worthless.
    Furthermore, the level requirement of items is at least as high as your current level, this means you could find a rare item (that would normally only require level 60 to equip that would be useful to your friend or another character of yours), BUT they'll need to reach your level, so even if you happen to find something useful for another character (which is rare to begin with thanks to "smart loot"), you can't use it anyway unless that other character is on a similar level.

    Hardcore is kind of a joke. There is cheat death elixirs farmable for everyone and a cheat death mechanic for sorcerer, in combination with the scroll of escape. This means that for example the pinnacle level 100 boss can be killed with zero risk of death.

    Last but not least is stash space and console-port. The entire UI is obviously designed for consoles and doesn't feel or look good on pc, for example, one cannot search in the stash or on the skill/paragon tree (except for predefined terms LOL). You start off with one stash tab (10x5), every item takes up one stash slot (gems and elixirs are stackable) and can have up to 4 stash tabs. Those 4 tabs fill up very quickly with even one character.

    This is of course is an incomplete list of current issues.    … Expand

    As a long-time fan of the Diablo franchise, I was filled with anticipation for the release of Diablo 4. Unfortunately, this once-beloved series has taken a dark and tragic turn. The game's horrible gameplay and shameless in-game monetization practices have left me feeling betrayed and disillusioned.
    Abysmal Gameplay Mechanics

    The core gameplay in Diablo 4 is a far cry from the engaging and addictive experiences we had in previous installments. The combat system feels clunky and unresponsive, making even the most basic encounters feel like a chore. The skill trees and character progression have been severely dumbed down, offering little in the way of meaningful choices or customization.

    Enemy AI is laughably bad, with foes either standing still and waiting to be hit or mindlessly rushing toward the player with no regard for tactics or self-preservation. This lack of challenge and variety makes for a dull, monotonous experience that quickly grows tiresome.

    But truly, the ingame monetization is despicable; baiting players to buy in-game items is greedy and insulting. Do not buy this game unless you want a lackluster experience combined with a buy more now complex.    … Expand

    The main elements of an arpg are character progression and loot. This game makes both of those things unenjoyable. I dreaded progression because I knew monsters would be absorbing more damage, and my items would become more obsolete every time I grinded to a new level. I approached this game with an open mind. I wanted to accept it for what it is and not be attached to the mechanics of other classic Diablo games. Unfortunately the game, on its own, is just a very bad player experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played D3 for 2000 hours and played most of the ARPG in the market right now. This is the game for neither casual story experiencing (because the story line is plain and simple), nor those who like play end game

    Story: *spoiler*
    - No Diablo in Diablo game
    - Simple kids-level bad guy story that you chase a bad guy and kill a bad guy that's it
    - Prime evil is not evil and being raised as a pet by dark wanderer
    - High heaven and wise Tyrael totally absent maybe the story is too cliche so they have little interest to intervene

    Mechanism:
    - Nothing new. A giant freak of other ARPG game mechanism mix, especially Lost Ark.
    - Imprint system is a piece of ****
    - Managing and searching your imprint or legendary gears are non-existing. No way you can tell what you have unless you have very good memory.
    - Meaningless side quests that give you 1 veiled crystal in the end as reward
    - Meaningless long walk in dungeon, long walk in world map
    - Same dungeons, which don't usually fit to the story line or anything. They just pop up there and inside it's just a randomized collections of several maps.

    Skills:
    - All class has one 1 viable skill or build to play. Not other builds are not "good", they are utterly ****
    - Imagine you're in a season and you need to play countless dungeons with your only build that will never change - I have already lost interest in starting playing at all.
    - Some core skills are designed clearly without any creativity for example Rogue has two almost identical core skill "barrage" and "rapid fire"
    - No variations in skill tree. You got all things like +4% crit, -4% dmg on close enemies.
    - Affixes are pretty much auto-cast certain skills and very slightly change how skill works very boring

    Gameplay:
    - Worst horse riding experience. Randomly stop and stuck in terrain. Clunky.
    - Revive points are anywhere but where it should be - in front of the boss room.
    - Leveling system makes sure you don't feel that you're leveling. When you have that only 1 via build and most of the affixes, you're pretty much one shot everybody and 10s boss raid until level 80.    … Expand

    Their logic for it is, "we want to tear them down, so we can bring them all up together" they could just, I dunno... buff the weaker skills? Not nerf cooldown? Listen to the players?
    Not to mention the lack of stash tab space.
    $20-30 cosmetics on top of the $70-100 game...
    There is no actual community in game, no global chat, no area chat... social aspects of this game don't exist.

However, Diablo 4 has an excessive number of visibly inconvenient systems, which leads to dissatisfaction.

    Firstly, Diablo 4 fails to sufficiently develop the game's story and instead relies on implicit hints, providing story content and DLCs only after the initial release. This gives the impression of an incomplete game experience, especially considering its price tag of $70.

    Furthermore, in an attempt to extend playtime, Diablo 4 introduces mounts starting from Act 4, which feels like a deliberate content extension. Additionally, the reset of the reputation system, similar to collection content, each season is difficult to comprehend. The subquest rewards in Diablo 4 are underwhelming, and the reputation system is no different from collecting items. Moreover, having to experience the story repetitively each season feels unnecessary and hard to understand.

    The dungeon system in Diablo 4 introduces conditions that must be met to access boss rooms, which not only lacks enjoyment but also adds unnecessary stress. This conditional dungeon approach is atypical for the fast-paced hack-and-slash genre, deviating from the essence of Diablo and impacting the gameplay negatively.

    The opening system of Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 is also inconveniently implemented, although it resembles systems seen in other games. In Diablo 4, players must physically travel to the dungeons, and the conditional dungeon system exacerbates the inconvenience. These aspects make Diablo 4 appear regressive rather than progressive within the game series.

    While there is a possibility of improvement as seasons progress, considering the current state, it is difficult to give a favorable score.    … Expand

In the case of this game, I trusted the initial (players) reviews, which saved me some money. This time, unfortunately, I trusted the (certainly paid by Blizzard) "professional critics" and did a preorder. Assuming that the game, after all, could not be somehow nightmarishly bad, since the creators of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 worked on it for 10 years.

    Such thinking turned out to be a big mistake, with one positive aspect. No more preorders, ever, for any game, even if the "pros" give it 100/100. As for Diablo 4 itself, I don't think I'll say anything revealing here. Shallow story, absolutely horrendous level scaling. This means that after each entry to a higher level, items previously acquired become almost useless. Not to mention that for a level 40 character, the loot is level 30 or lower and so on.

    There are also 5 or 6 types of different dungeons in the game, the going through of which can be compared to scanning accounting documents by hand all day. In other words, the game is boring. But not simply boring, but monstrously boring. I played it for about 35 hours, then I was not able to persuade myself to run it again. And yesterday I just uninstalled it to make room on the disk for something to entertain me.

    Oh, I would have forgotten! This game, for which Blizzard wants $70, also contains all the hated elements of free-to-play games. That is, the need to stay online, microtransactions (very expensive) and Battlepass. All in all, it's been a long time since I played such a terrible H&S. Worse were probably only Wolcen and Pagan - Absent Gods, one and the other I uninstalled after 5 hours. However, I think that if I had paid $70 for any of these games, I probably would have forced myself to play for 35 hours, like these D4.

    While the future of the game is anyone’s guess, at present Diablo IV is a solid, but strangely unambitious take that fails to bring much new to the table. By the end of my travels, I was more than willing to put it down and take a break — somewhere amongst all the grinding, Diablo IV had unfortunately ground me down as well.
